Be sure to stop and visit the museum. Wed, Sat, Sun 10am-4pm
Both the mill and the old barn next door feature countless exhibits from Varel. Here, you can appreciate how important the port once was.
The reason for this was a trade embargo, and only the port in Varel was allowed to handle goods in the entire surrounding area. The British, in particular, traded grain for iron ore here. This enabled ironworks to be built in Varel.

The mill is a real highlight; it's fully functional and houses a small agricultural museum. A must-see when in Varel.

A very beautiful and impressive windmill. It's one of the largest of its kind and well worth a visit.
